Wordcup in a nutshell

Wordcup is one of Germany’s oldest and most respected hiphop shows. It started in 1996 on the tv channel VIVA but was taken off air in 1996 when VIVA turned into a random music clip and teenie show channel. Wordcup always tried to dig deep into the German rap scene, featured unknown artists, went to jams and concerts and visited musicians in their studios.
Now, Wordcup is back – Hobnox features the hiphop show and wordcup is as fresh as it has always been: Interesting interviews, concerts, famous and notsofamous artists, great editing and cool filming.

CoolzeyLiked the fluffy conscious Coolzey stuff here? There is a new E.P., one of three Coolzey puts out for free on the net this month, it’s called Soixante-Neuf which is, if I am not mistaken, French for Sixty-Nine.

“I realized that these three EP’s are sort of a trilogy of the three stages of life: youth, middle age, and death. Soixante Neuf is the darkest because in my mind, middle age is the darkest part of one’s life.”

Right now, Coolzey is on tour in the U.S., last stop is, chapeau, the Knitting factory in NYC.

Here’s the epic “Art World”:

KIZ“Du Opfer, was willst du machen, überall sind Kanaken, deine Mama soll losgehn und die Wertsachen wegpacken.
Wir ziehen Koks, ziehen Speed, das Leben eines Gees,wir boxen dich zu Kartoffelbrei, Ali, Murat, Rashid.
Ehre. Ehre. Verstehst du?”

KIZ sind auf Tour und grillen die Bühnen der Welt. “Rap ist der Watzmann. Erst nachdem wir ihn zu Fall gebracht haben, können wir aufs Mittelmeer blicken.”(Interview bei Vice).

Coolzey: What the deal?

CoolzeyEin Weißbrot tritt an, um das Erbe von J Dilla und Jeru the Damaja fortzuführen, und ein bisschen nach Mobb Deep klingt der Gute auch. (Selbst-)bewusste Texte, smarter Flow über fluffigen Beats, die an DJ Premier, Pete Rock oder die Beatnuts erinnern: “Early 90s east coast head nod meets late 80s old school hip hop made by schizophrenic Iowan possessed by gremlins” beschreibt sich der Mann aus Iowa (das Internet spült einfach alles an die Oberfläche).

Hier ist “What the deal?!”:
